Fighter’s ‘Crash Landing’ Decoded: Despite 200 Crore Box Office, Hrithik Roshan & (A Very Little) Deepika Padukone Couldn’t Roar Like Pathaan & ‘Fight’ Like War
Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in a movie. O…M…Geeee. This was the preliminary response on social media when it was introduced that lastly, after years of manifestation, the 2 superstars had been coming collectively for an motion movie. Hrithik and DP each performed Indian Air Power officers within the much-awaited movie that was helmed by Siddharth Anand.
Curiously, this was the second steady movie for DP with Sid, whereas the director had nice working chemistry with Hrithik since they labored collectively in Bang Bang and Struggle! However then, regardless of having all of the packing containers ticked for an ideal blockbuster, what went incorrect with the HR-DP movie, and the way did it crash-landed?
Proper earlier than Fighter’s launch, there have been speculations that Deepika Padukone was not very pleased with the movie. Effectively, if she was, she had all the correct taking a look at her chopped half within the movie. After the movie’s launch, Siddharth Anand made a tone-deaf assertion about 90% of Indians not flying in airplanes, and, subsequently, they couldn’t hook up with the movie.
Whereas Fighter, underperforming on the field workplace, was a heartbreaking begin for Hindi movies this yr, right here are literally some primary causes that it couldn’t struggle like Struggle, roar like Pathaan, or fly like Fighter ought to have flown!
1. India – Pak angle is passé
The India VS Pakistan angle might be now a cliche and probably the most abused and overused angles in Hindi movies. Just lately, Tiger 3 tried taking part in upon the identical emotion, and it didn’t work. Very intelligently, Pathaan, regardless of utilizing the angle as a subplot, didn’t put each the international locations towards one another on the main focus, and that labored brilliantly for Siddharth Anand then. A clue that he ought to have positively taken for Fighter.
2. Aerial Motion – Not The Taste?
It looks like aerial motion isn’t the flavour for the Indian lots. Whereas it’s one thing that may entice city audiences, it’s a massive no for almost all of the lots. Alternatively, Pathaan trusted world-class motion, and whereas a few of it was additionally aerial motion, main stunts from the movie had the actor grounded (pun supposed).
3. Hrithik Roshan’s Raised Bar With Struggle
Hrithik raised the bar for himself very excessive for motion movies together with his Spy Universe movie Struggle, which was additionally helmed by Siddharth Anand. So, something lower than Struggle is very unacceptable by the followers now. The identical occurred with Fighter. Whoever has watched the movie would agree that it couldn’t stand on the identical pedestal as Struggle regardless of the similarities within the blueprints of each movies.
4. The promotional technique
Clearly, Fighter fell onerous on its promotional technique. A. a movie on braveness and valor of the Indian Air Power, was a lot publicized as Hrithik & DP‘s first movie. Their chemistry was saved as the foremost spotlight of the movie’s teaser, trailer, and songs as properly. Nonetheless, this didn’t materialize into a movie that talked solely about Shamsher Pathania, performed by the suave Hrithik Roshan.
5. The Musical Push
Pathaan created a whole lot of waves with its music. The entire USP depended so much on the 2 tremendous loopy viral songs – Jhoome Jo Pathaan and Besharam Rang. Nonetheless, regardless of attempting to create ripples by means of Sher Khul Gaye and Heer Aasmaani, Fighter couldn’t match the extent of hysteria the music of Pathaan created.
